I have had this conversation on numerous occasions with many authors. The responses are varied.

Articles I have read of late have been disturbing. They insist that what Christian’s want is more spice in their fiction. As more 'Christian' books are including profanity and explicit sexual scenarios, they sadly, are rising in popularity and are often referred to when Christian books are the topic.

As Christian authors we have a responsibility to present our stories in a form that will glorify God. We do not have the right to defame His holiness by weaving a few scriptures into a backdrop of decadence. There is no honor in gaining name recognition and increasing our bank accounts at the expense of our brother/sister.

I’d love to hear your opinion on this subject. Please keep in mind that this blog is not meant to bash other authors by naming names. It is a forum to discuss our opinions regarding the Christian arts.

Thank you for stopping by to visit me. I’m looking forward to sharing my journey of writing with all of you. Additionally I hope to engage in delightful discussions regarding the Arts as it pertains to our Christian walk.

As I briefly mentioned in my welcome, my debut novel, Business Unusual will release soon. I invite you all to visit the website at http://www.lindabeed.com/ to see what’s going on there.

For those of you who do not know me, this is my first time blogging. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of things. I look forward to hearing from you.

Be blessed – Linda!
